Clinical Research Of Proximal Femoral Anatomic Plate And DHS In Treatment Of Femoral Intertrochanteric Fracture

Objective: To study the clinical effects of proximal femoral anatomic plate and Dynamic hip screw (DHS) for treatment of femoral intertrochanteric fracture. Method: Forty Five cases in this study were femoral intertrochanteric fracture patients from February 2006 to September 2007 in the Shan Dong University of TCM Affilitated Hospital orthopaedics impatient. All the cases were divided into two groups according to different treatment. Twenty three patients were treated with proximal femoral anatomic plate, and twenty two patients were treated with DHS. The period of follow-up was between 6 months to 2 years. Comparing and analyzing the samplings' sex, age, the time in hospital, the time, blood loss and blood transfusion during operation, the function of resuming in both groups, dealing with statistically and then get the result. Result: There were no significant difference in the time in hospital and the function of resuming between proximal femoral anatomic plate group and the DHS group (P>0.05), and there were significant difference in the time, blood loss and blood transfusion during operation between two groups (P<0.05), it shows that the time, blood loss and blood transfusion during operation in the proximal femoral anatomic plate group was less than the DHS group (P<0.05). Conclusion: 1 Proximal femoral anatomic plate shows the advantage of good molding and less injury. 2 Proximal femoral anatomic plate and DHS can be good methods to the intertrochanteric fracture, but the operation indication should be chosen strictly.
